I myself am a big supporter of the
entire bill of rights. I have 2 PhD's, if that interests you.
Allow me to be more specific.
I am a big fan of Campbell's soup. I have a pantry full of it. Call me old fashioned, but I generally prefer their regular condensed variety.
My wife (much younger than me) is a busy registered nurse and has currently imposed her own New Year's Resolution on ME! LOL.
"We" are eating more healthy now. In light of that, she has replaced some of my favorite Campbell's soups with their supposedly healthier counterparts.
One of my favorite condensed soups is Minestrone.
Lo and behold, I found it replaced by Campbell's "Select Harvest Minestrone Soup" in a microwave container.
I was very much looking forward to enjoying it for lunch yesterday.
Sadly, the soup was loathesome and could not be eaten.
Allow me to itemize some of the reasons:
1) It had an overwhelmingly foul herbacious smell and taste, much like pine cleaner or furniture polish.
2) The above was probably due to the massive amount of greyish green leafy matter in the soup. This might have been basil or some other herb, but it was too disintegrated to identify.
3) The broth itself was thin and itself nearly tasteless and had an offputting metallic background note.
4) Most of the vegetables were ok texturewise (they still tasted bad) with the exception of the green beans which had disintegrated almost to the point they seemed de-composed. There was a marked difference between the green beans and the other vegetables.
I could manage to eat only about 1/4 of the container and was left with a bad taste in my mouth that I couldn't shake.
Worse, later my u-rine smelled bad.
My question to Campbells is: DID I EAT A TAINTED CONTAINER OF SOUP OR IS IT SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE THAT?
I suppose an answer either way is troubling.
Having worked for years in the consumer product industry, I know input like this is invaluable to companies and I wanted to notify Campbells immediately of my situation.
I hope this helps.
Also, sea salt does not contain less sodium than other forms of salt. Saying so may lead to a court battle for misleading advertising, but I imagine Cambells has a boatload of knowledgeable attorneys on retainer.
Cheers,
Chuck
